Derek Stepan's power-play goal with 2:46
remaining highlighted a third-period rally that lifted the New York Rangers to
a 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena. All four New York
scores came in the final 12:35 of play, with the newly acquired Martin
St. Louis setting up Stepan's tally on a 5-on-3 power play that snapped a
2-2 deadlock. Both Stepan and Rick Nash finished with a goal and an assist
in the Rangers' 10th straight win over Carolina, with Ryan McDonagh
adding a shorthanded marker and Carl Hagelin sealing the outcome with an
empty netter. Henrik Lundqvist posted 22 saves to help New York halt a three-
game skid. The Hurricanes were dealt a sixth loss in seven outings
despite Anton Khudobin's 40-save effort and goals from Jordan Staal and Jeff
Skinner.
